Married to Addiction

Oh, the holidays. They can seem pretty lackluster as the wife of an alcoholic.

For some of us they are the most difficult time of the whole year.

And for many of us, no one even knows what we are going through which can make it all seem that much harder.

So first of all....I SEE YOU. I know firsthand how hard this time of year can be.

But I also want you to know that the holiday season doesn't have to be just another casualty of your husband's addiction. There are ways to make it feel a lot easier.

Trust me when I say that you can still experience peace, and even joy, this season. Even now, in the midst of what you're going through.

In this episode we will talk about how to do just that.

You hear it on airplanes all the time: 'Put your mask on first'.

But what does that mean for us as as the wife of an alcoholic?

In this episode we talk about why 'putting our mask on first' is so important, how it can help us and those around us, and ways you can start.

If you don't feel like you can breathe right now then please listen to this episode.

So your husband has decided to attempt sobriety.

You thought you'd be blissfully happy when this time came, but are instead finding parts of it challenging, or even annoying.

In this episode we will talk about things we need to keep in mind if our husband is trying to stop drinking.

It's important for every wife to give this one a listen, even if your husband isn't currently at this point.

When my husband was addicted I became such a good detective that I bet the Scooby Doo gang would've hired me in an instant.

I worked hard to figure out all his drinking habits.

I thought I was 'good' at it, and walked around with a smug sense of pride and superiority because of it.

It hurts my heart to say that now.

Because looking back it only made things worse.

In this episode we'll talk about how we fall into playing detective, why it's so harmful, and what to do instead.

You've heard it before, I'm sure: An alcoholic has to 'be ready' for recovery.

But what does that mean exactly?

And how do they get there?

Is there anything we can do to hurry it along?

In this episode I will share an analogy with you that I think will really help you understand the concept of 'being ready' for recovery.

Thanks for tuning in.

This is a scenario I hear about a lot.

Many of our husbands' early (or even late) attempts at sobriety will be trying to do it on their own.

Is that ever successful?

What are the challenges around that?

What things can make it actually possible?

We'll talk about all of that in this episode.

It's probably been about everyone but you for a while now, hasn't it?

I get it. I was in the same position when my husband was addicted.

But here's the thing...

If you keep ignoring YOU, then you will keep sinking deeper and deeper into a pit of despair.

And that, dear sister, is no way to live.

It's time to make room for you. It's time to focus on your recovery.

I'll give you some tips on how to do just that in this episode, plus a new free resource to get you started.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

If we feel like we are being prompted to make a shift then we need to listen to that.

It can be difficult because change often feels uncomfortable, but God knows where He is trying to lead us so we need to trust that He will never steer us wrong.

In this episode we will talk about a shift that is coming for Married to Addiction, and also the possibility that it might be time for you to make a shift as well.

Will you join me?

Have you heard the term 'dry drunk'?

What does that mean?

Is your husband considered a dry drunk now?

Why does it occur?

And what can we do if our husband is exhibiting 'dry drunk' behaviors?

We will tackle all of that in this episode.

Hopefully you know by now that working on our own recovery as wives of alcoholics is vitally important.

It can help us get our lives back. It can help us get ourselves back.

But what about the ripple effect?

How does prioritizing our own personal recovery affect our other relationships, or even other parts of our lives?

We will talk about all of that in this episode.

Please listen. The effects are probably FAR more far-reaching than you think.
